Dear TAP member, 

To help brighten your days during this unprecedented time, TDF has an exclusive offer for our members: a free one-month trial of BroadwayHD. We've partnered with the premier streaming service for theatre lovers so you can watch recordings of beloved musicals and plays with captions from your home. 

We are also posting daily roundups of free or inexpensive theatre performances to watch online on other sites. Many TAP members have been asking about accessibility features, so we wanted to explain how to turn on closed captions (if available) when watching performances on YouTube or Facebook.

Scroll down for more information about BroadwayHD and accessing captions. 

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.  

Your TAP Team, 

Lisa, Fran, Larissa, Colleen and Marissa
